Transdev is the only multi-modal transport operator to be recognised with an Australian Workplace Equality Index Bronze Tier Status accreditation.

Transdev scored a 90% for its inclusivity rating at the AWEI recognition: a national benchmark for workplace inclusion of LGBTQIA+.

Transdev CEO Brian Brennan said he was proud Transdev was recognised as welcoming of all sexualities, gender identities or intersex status:

“Inclusivity is one of Transdev’s key sustainability pillars. We are a workplace that is fair, safe and inclusive of all people regardless how they identify, We embrace and celebrate difference as we seek greater advancement of the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ staff.” Mr Brennan said.

Transdev Head of Diversity Equity & Inclusion Sam Collins said Transdev would continue to improve its inclusivity targeting AWEI Silver accreditation by mid 2024.

“We continue to make our workplaces more inclusive and welcoming for everyone. It’s important we encourage all our people to feel culturally safe to bring their whole selves to work and we’ll have more exciting news. This year we’ll be expanding our Ally network, training opportunities and looking to do more with our partners. We’ll have more news on that front as part of Wear It Purple Day on the 25^th August.” Ms Collins said.

Updating Transdev’s People & Culture policies and procedures to be inclusive of all sexualities, genders and cultures, including smart traveller travel policy, parental leave and language guides,
